"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe" ~ Neil Gaiman (A Game of You)

“OK, maybe I was a little forceful, but that doesn’t change my position.” She began to twirl her hair around her finger, a sure sign that she wasn’t so sure anymore. “Besides, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.”

Just wanted to let you know that I found the 250 words a day challenge via your 500 words a day badge. I've been wanting to add more of my own writing with the literature I excerpt, but don't have the time (or sometimes the content) for a major blog post every single day. However, I can work up to having something short on each excerpt.

Marvy!And thank you for playing along with the prompt(s.) There are more of you than show in public - web stats say time on site is high for prompts. ;-)
